At the pre-structural stage, students need help and support to generate ideas and to get started. ]]> 2018-09-02 17:56:35 UTC https://padlet.com/luisfernandocobos1/g4lskpiaynt4/wish/277164075 Surface levels luisfernandocobos1 https://padlet.com/luisfernandocobos1/g4lskpiaynt4/wish/277164178  Uni-structural/one idea: The student shows a concrete understanding of one component or aspect of the topic, unit or concept. • Multi-structural/many ideas: The student can understand several components, but the understanding of each remains discrete. Ideas and knowledge around an issue are not yet related. ]]> 2018-09-02 17:57:44 UTC https://padlet.com/luisfernandocobos1/g4lskpiaynt4/wish/277164178 Deeper levels luisfernandocobos1 https://padlet.com/luisfernandocobos1/g4lskpiaynt4/wish/277164211  Relational/connecting ideas: The student is now able to appreciate the significance of the parts in relation to the whole. 
 Extended abstract/extending ideas: Understanding is transferable and can be generalized to different areas and situations. ]]> 2018-09-02 17:58:10 UTC https://padlet.com/luisfernandocobos1/g4lskpiaynt4/wish/277164211
